Family Favorite Sloppy Joes
This is a simple recipe that was given to me by my mother. She served it when I was a child, and my family of 6 loves it too. Serve on hamburger buns.
Mint-Cucumber Mojitos
This refreshing version of mint mojitos features a springtime kick of cucumber. We love these at special gatherings and summer barbeques. A pitcher of this can be made a few hours in advance--just add alcohol at serving time.
Crispy Fried Poached Eggs
This wow-worthy dish is inspired by an appetizer I once had at a restaurant and couldn't stop dreaming out. This recipe is a bit more challenging than your average egg dish, but tasting the crispy outer crust next to the smooth, silky yolk is worth all the effort! You can garnish with whatever toppings you want, but pickled red onions will offer a pop of brightness to cut through the richness.
